Husker Volleyball Brings the Brooms in Sweep of DePaul – #1 Nebraska 3 DePaul 0
Nebraska 3-DePaul 0: 25-19, 25-13, 25-15 The Huskers started their weekend off playing a match in Wintrust Center against the DePaul Blue Demons. I might’ve called them the Blue Devils in my previous article… don’t blame me, it’s been a long week ok. Andi Jackson was not available for tonight’s match after rolling her ankle […]
FRIDAY Night College Football Game Thread (9/4/26)
Okay, last night was fun. Rutgers came out with a whimper and lost on their home field to a UMass team that was on a 16 game losing streak. Schiano, the one time savior of the Scarlet Knights, might not be able to do it the second time around. The Minutemen looked like world beaters […]
Nebraska Football: My Game-by-Game Prediction for the 2026 Season
Last year I did my game-by-game prediction for the 2025 season and was batting 1.000 until Nebraska was embarrassed by Iowa at the end of the season. I had picked Nebraska to go 8-4 but instead they went 7-5. The game that flipped the 2025 season was the USC game in Lincoln. Nebraska was leading […]
Memorial Stadium Food: Here’s New Huskers Football Chow for 2026
When Aramark Sports + Entertainment took over as the Memorial Stadium food and beverage provider prior to last season, they quickly showed a flair for stepping up the game day chow game while keeping all of the traditional game day faves like Runzas and Frank’s Hot Dogs on the menu. Well, 2026 brings a new […]
Husker Volleyball Heads to Chicago to Play DePaul Friday Night
DePaul Blue Demons2025 Record: 14-132025 Conference Record: Big East (7-9)Last NCAA Tournament Appearance: 2001 (Lost to Minnesota in 1st Round) DePaul has a lot of history, but most of it is very up and down. They’ve had some terrible seasons and some seasons where they finished just above .500, but they have really never had […]
Five Reasons Nebraska Will Win: Ohio
It’s your favorite time of year! You know, when I let you know why Nebraska is going to dominate on Saturday in an insanely accurate way. I mean, I was 7-6 last year that’s over 50%, it’s really not bad. Majority rules, right? Last year doesn’t matter though, because I am about to BLOW YOU […]
Beware Ohio Say Huskers Coaches and Players: “They Ain’t Coming In Here Scared”
First of all, I’m not new to the press dances and puffing up outmatched opponents prior to non-conference rollover games. But the coaches and players at least sounded pretty sincere discussing the Ohio Bobcats, showing more animation than, say, the usual rushed, monotone responses when trying to explain why Houston Christian was going to be […]
Five Heart Podcast: Nebraska Hosts Ohio this Saturday
The Five Heart Podcast returns for game week as Nebraska prepares to open the 2026 football season against Ohio. Greg, Fred, and Minnie discuss the growing optimism surrounding the Huskers after a long offseason, while acknowledging the familiar skepticism among fans. They explain the meaning behind “Five Heart,” describing players who give maximum effort and […]
Thursday Night College Football Game Thread (9/3/26)
Hey folks, welcome back to another fun filled Thursday night lineup. We start the evening with Umass at Rutgers at 5pm cst. It is not the most intriguing game on the docket as neither one of these teams should be anything special this year, so let’s move on. The first one that catches my eye […]
Corn Nation 20th Anniversary Replay: The 15 People You Hate To Tailgate With
As we celebrate the 20th Anniversary of Corn Nation, I realized when Jon published the article commemorating it that 2026 marked my 15th trip around the sun with this fine crowd. When i realized this, I was filled with , “Good Christ, where did the goddamned time go?” sense of dread. But once I washed […]
Tay Ellis Moved Across the Country for Nebraska. Now He’s No Longer a Husker
There are plenty of strange stories in college football recruiting, but Tay Ellis’ decision to decommit from Nebraska has to rank among the more surprising ones. The wide receiver had already done something that most recruits don’t do when he committed to the Huskers. Ellis wasn’t simply a high school prospect from Texas who picked […]
Lane Kiffin Made the SEC the Enemy. That’s the Point.
We are one week into the 2026 college football season and Lane Kiffin has already taken over the news cycle, which is the most Lane Kiffin thing possible. He’s at LSU. He’s bringing back NFL players — guys who didn’t stick on a roster or a practice squad — and three or four of them […]
NEBRASKA (0-0) vs. Ohio U. (0-0) – The Slate Is Clean Until 11AM Saturday: HOW TO WATCH/LISTEN
Frank Solich will be making another appearance in Memorial Stadium when he takes midfield pre-game as the honorary coin-tosser before the only two schools at which he head-coached go at it on a steamy Saturday morning to kick off another season of Nebraska Cornhuskers football. But he can march right back out that gate as […]
Thursday Flakes: Volleyball Wins, Clippers Tagged and More
Yesterday I turned 39 years old. If 40 is still considered “over the hill”, then I’m currently sitting atop of it like a Soapbox Derby car waiting for the race to start. All that is left is going downhill at full speed with no brakes and nothing but chaos ahead. Don’t believe me? Watch this… […]
Husker Volleyball Makes Quick Work of SDSU in Sweep – #1 Nebraska 3 – SDSU 0
Nebraska 3 – South Dakota State 0: 25-18, 25-20, 25-15 I do have something to admit to everyone….. I didn’t pay the $10 to watch the stream. Although I hate missing a Husker volleyball match, I wasn’t going to pay for their streaming network. I already pay for every streaming service under the sun so […]
Dana Holgorsen & Depth Charts: “We’ve Got a Few Position Battles Still Ongoing”
At Tuesday’s presser, when I asked Coach Holgorsen about the depth chart, I’ll admit I was hoping he would have some fun with it and he did not disappoint. I hadn’t even gotten, “So they released the depth chart yesterday,” out of my mouth before he jumped in feigning shock with, “Did they??” and a […]
Nebraska Football: Thoughts, Intel, Predictions and Success
THOUGHTS: Unlike Green Day, I’d prefer you wake me up when September begins! College football returns in earnest, the corn sweat isn’t nearly as terrible, and I get older and grayer. It ushers in the truly remarkable time of year where I can spend nearly 18 straight hours watching multiple sports, where the only breaks […]
Washington Huskies 2026 Football Preview
After playing Michigan for the 2023 national championship, things turned downward quickly for the Washington Huskies. Kalen DeBoer left to replace Nick Saban at Alabama, and much of the roster fled for the NFL and the transfer portal. The Huskies did manage to make a bowl game in 2024, and went 9-4 last season. The […]

Nebraska Football Player Power Rankings: Game One – Ohio
Welcome my most recent edition of my Nebraska football player power rankings. As I have said before, this list will be completely subjective in several ways and may not follow a logical path. Or maybe it will. This power ranking list will be a combination of the most important, most impactful, a recent contribution, waiting […]

HUSKERS FOOTBALL Releases a Depth Chart!
So let’s do THAT! Depth charts are fun and they generally will let you know who you’re going to see most often. But we’re decades into the world of multiple sets and formations on both sides of the ball and most are well aware it’s never the same 11 populating those sets and formations. But, […]
Get the Best of Corn Nation on the New SB Nation App
Below is the text that SB Nation gave me in this article to announce the app that we’re going to have for your phones. There’s a few things I want to say about this and I will be pretty blunt about it. Over the past few years, I’ve been probably paying more attention to Twitter […]
Corn Flakes: Bergan Reilly Big Ten Setter of the Week and Husker Stay #1
Let’s talk about the Husker volleyball that we saw on display this weekend. First, the things we already knew Bergan Reilly is a beast and she is elite, not only at running the offense but also on the service line. Andi Jackson is picking up right where she left off with what I think is […]
